Is it a transcript, or did he write it up as an article?

Doug

I would say he wrote it up into a kind of article (btw, no english version is available).

I have a question. there was much talk of wall street being against the Iraq invasion, then we read that Alan Greenspan kind of encouraged it (not so much to get oil, but to get a firmer grip of its market, as David Harvey first, to my knowledge, suggested). ok, wall street is kind of pragmatically nihilist, that is pro-winners and against loosers. and still, if the Fed Chairman, especially such a partisan chairman as Greenspan, is the avatar of WS class consciousness, the one who knows better what is going to benefit capitalists as a class in the middle-longer term, i would argue that the iraq invasion has been more than simply 'tolerated' in a sort of wait-and-see attitude by wall street.
